Noli de Castro has earned the ire of netizens and celebrities over his ‘shady advice’ to Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto’s effort to ask the government to allow tricycle to operate.
Right before Jeff Canoy’s flash news report concluded, Noli aired his personal opinion and said: “Baka hindi niya alam na bawal ang public transpo.”
The statement of veteran TV Patrol host triggered many netizens to defend Vico. Some even recalled De Castro did not have any notable accomplishments during his time as the Vice President of the Philippines from 2004 until 2010.
Here are the reactions of netizens to Noli’s ‘shady advice’:
Director and writer Kip Oebanda reiterated what Vico really wants is to save people, as he knows what his people in direly need.

For Jesus Falcis, Vico has conducted a risk assessment in his city, and there’s no way the latter is not aware that public transportation is prohibited.

Kabayan to Jeff Canoy after reporting Vico Sotto's compassion to tryke driver: "Jeff ang DILG may ipprovide silang mga bus para magamit. Baka hindi alam yan ni Mayor Vico Sotto.. Baka di nya alam yan."
IS IT JUST ME OR……….

Anong problema ng news anchor nyo na si Noli De Castro? Why does he keep on implying that Mayor @VicoSotto is defying the order? Well in fact, the Mayor is suggesting for alternative solutions for those regulations that have countless lapses? @ABSCBNNews @TVPatrol

Tangina neto ni Noli De Castro. The audacity to throw the blame on Vico Sotto kasi bakit daw pinapayagan ‘yung tricycles kesyo wala raw bang transport services ang Pasig to help the workers?
STFU. For all we know, your 6 years as VICE-PRESIDENT was total shit.

For some netizens, Noli de Castro only showed his insecurity about Vico’s competency as being a proactive leader in Pasig City.

Nograles, Noli De Castro & Mocha Uson are now giving subtle attacks on Vico Sotto in an attempt to stain his good name & credibility.
The people have already seen the true colors of Vico Sotto – a selfless man who would put the needs of others before his own. We stand with Vico

Mocha Uson… just perish, please. We don't need your shit right now. We just want to survive this virus.
All in! #ProtectVico from the likes of Mocha Uson, Noli de Castro and others.

Boomers really look down on Millennials, no? Like they just see us as reklamadors and they think highly of themselves because of their age. Case in point: Noli De Castro and Vico Sotto.

This isn’t the first time that Noli de Castro became unethical on-air! Not only does he throw biased queries/comments, but, in 2016, he also did endorse Duterte at the end of their segment. This speaks volume for his partisanship. Media must always be impartial and responsible. https://t.co/2T4EckaCqT

Ito naman, unang batch ng vitamins. Mauuna na ang distribusyon nito. Maraming salamat, PHILUSA Corp, sa 10% discount mula retail price.
Ipamimigay na natin to sa mga barangay bukas. #beatcovid pic.twitter.com/RXIKmj1igl

Sa kasalukuyan ay inihahanda na namin ang Purchase Request para sa 400,000 food packs.
Hindi magiging madali ang logistics nito. Hihingi ang lungsod ng tulong sa mga pamahalaan pambarangay para sa distribusyon.
(Mode: emergency procurement. Expected delivery: end of this week) pic.twitter.com/ODw7c81mRG

Ito yung mga Sanitation Tent papasok ng CityHall, PCGH, at Child's Hope.
Ginagawa namin ang lahat ng makakaya para di magkulang ang supplies gaya ng mask.
May pribadong kompanya naman na magpapahiram ng mga kwarto para may pansamantalang matutuluyan ang mga exposed frontliners. pic.twitter.com/a8cjq0HQfB
